As the Philippines was once a colony of Spain, many Spanish words were incorporated into the Cebuano(Bisaya) language that we now have today. This lesson is based on telling time and the amount of money. Please take note that when counting money, the phrase usually ends with the Philippine monetary unit: Peso. For example, Dos pesos (2 Pesos). However, there is no equivalent to saying "One Peso" as this is just referred to as "Piso". And in telling time, the phrase usually starts with: "A la ____." For example, "A la una sa buntag." (One o'clock in the morning.) For more details, please contact me.
